Witnesses brought to Capitol Bill by Democrats recently delivered a blow to the party’s rhetoric on the attorney general. Republican Congressman
Kelly Armstrong grilled legal experts Wednesday about the subpoena issued to William Barr by the House Judiciary Committee. When pressed on the issue,
the witnesses agreed that the subpoena asks Barr to violate the law in order to comply.

I bet Fat Jerry didn't like this one bit. perhaps a consolation bucket of chicken is in order. I think most with some sense knew this, as the law
about why the redaction's were made is pretty clear. But the fact that the dims had such a public display of idiocy does make for good TV. I wonder
what this does for the contempt charge? Should Nadler be held in contempt for trying to force someone to break the law? Asking because I really
don't know, but it sure would be a nice turn of events.

Fat Jerry is Jerry Nadler. Trump nick-named him that back when he was doing real-estate deals in NYC and Nadler was just a city council dude who
didn't like Trump. He is now in a position to get some pay back and use his position to enact some revenge on Trump. He didn't choose to go the high
road and thank trump for enticing him to get a tummy tuck and loose a bunch of pounds.

The other guy, Capitol Bill, he's just "that guy". Don't be "that guy".

They have the right to do whatever is in their power to charge Trump for his high crimes and misdemeanors. Why aren't they going to go after him?
Perhaps their case isn't as strong as they originally said?

Honestly, I don't think Trump should be charged and I think subpoenaing Barr is idiotic. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy that it was just a week
or so ago that this site didn't think the opinions of legal experts held any weight.

They don't. But when you call in a legal expert to a hearing, and you ask that expert the tough questions, you had better know the answers ahead of
time, the dims did not. They got their ass handed to them. Which is why this particular incident is funny and thread worthy. I get how you would
try to see it through a different lens, but this does make me smile.

Let's just cut through all of the guff when it comes to the Democrats accusing Barr of committing crimes (supposedly lying to Congress), being Donald
Trump's personal lawyer (instead of a rule-of-law, and proper, AG) because he found that the POTUS had not "colluded" or criminally obstructed the
Muller investigation, and have held him in "Contempt of Congress".

They are not concerned about the actual legal factitude of these accusations, as (mostly all) lawyers, they thenselves know these charges are
absurd.

This is all about, for public consumption, trying to impune his character - and delegitimizing him and the office he holds - because they know there
are a lot of Democrats, Republican never-Trumpers and Deep State operatives who are in for a world of hurt once the DoJ's investigation results start
rolling in, under Barr's watch.

Their only defence, as they are going to face a mountain of evidence on a broad array of fronts, is to try to claim that all of the accused are being
persecuted by a corrupted AG. Not going to work...and they are scared bug-eyed.

The hammer is about to fall (though it may take some time, at the speed the FBI/DOJ move) on:

I don't know how broad and deep this will all go (will it go all the way to Obama, for example?)...I don't know if the malfeasance will be restricted
to Obama Executive Branch people - or if it will leak over to Congressmen and Senators (of both Parties) - but, mark my words, a lot of people are
going to lose their jobs (many senior people already have) and quite a few are going to go to jail.

About the dumbest thing the Democrats have done recently (and there is a very long list!), is to threaten to put the Attorney General in handcuffs and
throw him in jail over the phony Contempt charges. That's a little like squaring up with Mike Tyson and saying, "I'm gonna punch you in the
nose...whatddya gonna do about it?"

The Barr subpoena was nothing but political grandstanding, which both sides are guilty of, at times, for the sole purpose of advancing a narrative.

Trying to charge him with contempt, however, is a whole other matter. I find the dems position very hypocritical, in light of the statements made when
Holder was in a similar situation.

At far as the "legal experts" go, unless there is settled case law that shows otherwise, opinions are like.......well you know the saying.

The only opinions that matter are the ones held by the majority of the SCOTUS, and, if it goes that far, it will likely be after the 2020 election,
and after the whole Russia charade house of traitorous officials have been exposed.

Why is it that when armies of legal experts and law professors call-out a myriad of Trump's actions as violating the law all you Trumpkins just wave
it off as false news and Deep State actors? Yet when you find experts questioning actions by Democrats and people on the left all of a sudden it's
legit?

did you notice this was at a hearing on the house floor? Did your armies of legal experts testify in the same place?

The funniest part, is the idiot left called this witness as their expert, then allowed the wrong question to be asked, that could only be answered
the correct way. Which shoots the contempt charge in the face. in....the....face.

Because one is driven by hate for Trump, and political bias, and the other is based on the constitution, and settled case law.

Can you guess which is which?

Look, I get why some ppl do not like Trump's brash personality, but he is the duly elected president, and the office itself deserves respect.

Did you ever notice that Nadless and Co. Keep talking about the Barr Subpoena, but none of them bring up that it still needs voted on by the whole
House and passed before it can even be legally challenged?

So, the report was redacted because of ongoing investigations, a legal requirement. The dims want Barr to unredact and commit a crime under threat of
charging Barr with a different crime.

So, if I tell you to go commit X crime or I am going to charge you with Y crime, under the law that is called extortion. If more than one party is is
instructed to commit X crimes under threat by multiple entities to be charged with Y crime, that is called racketering.

So, the dims by that analogy are involved in felonious crimes including extortion and racketering.
